El Condor Pasa is a solid Pace Chaser in Umamusume: Pretty Derby, killing it in Mile and Medium-distance races on Turf. She can also handle Long-distance and Dirt tracks decently. Her unique skill, Corazón Ardiente, gives her a speed and acceleration boost on the final straight if her Stamina holds up, making her a beast in tough races. Here’s a straightforward guide to building her right.

Umamusume Pretty Derby El Condor Pasa 1

Build Overview

  • Running Style: Pace Chaser (Betweener). Can work as a Late Surger, but Pace Chaser is her sweet spot.
  • Best Tracks: Turf is her main deal; Dirt’s okay as a backup.
  • Best Distances: Mile and Medium. Long-distance works if you pump up Stamina; skip Short races since she’s not great there.
  • Growth Bonuses: 20% Speed, 10% Wit (Intelligence).

Stat Priorities

  1. Speed (Top Focus): Her 20% Speed growth makes this key. Shoot for:
    • 900+ for Mile races.
    • 800+ for Medium and Long races.

    Speed keeps her in the race early and powers her skills at the end.

  2. Stamina (Next Up): Gotta have enough to trigger Corazón Ardiente and last in longer races. Aim for:
    • 600–700 for Medium races.
    • 800–900+ for Long races.

    Grab Stamina recovery skills to keep her going.

  3. Power (Solid Third): Helps with passing and lane switches, especially for Pace Chaser. Target:
    • 500–700+ for Mile and Medium races.

    Less important for Long races, where Stamina rules.

  4. Wit (Intelligence): Her 10% Wit bonus helps with skill triggers and energy management. Go for:
    • 400–500+ for reliable skills and fewer mood issues.
  5. Guts: Lowest priority, but 300–400+ helps with passing and toughness. You’ll pick this up naturally.

Recommended Support Card Deck

A good deck boosts her Speed and Stamina while fitting her Pace Chaser style. Here’s what to use:

  • Standard Deck:
    • 3 Speed Cards: SSR Kitasan Black, SSR Maruzensky, SSR Oguri Cap (great for Speed and acceleration skills).
    • 1 Stamina Card: SSR Super Creek (for Stamina recovery and endurance).
    • 1 Wit Card: SSR Fine Motion (helps with skill triggers and rainbow training).
    • 1 Power or Hybrid Card: SSR Narita Brian or SSR Tosen Jordan (for Power and positioning).
  • Beginner Deck:
    • 2–3 Speed Cards: SR or SSR like Vodka or Silence Suzuka.
    • 1–2 Stamina Cards: SR or SSR Super Creek for recovery.
    • 1 Power or Wit Card: SR cards that fit her stats.

Tip: Pick cards with Mile/Medium skills and high friendship bonuses to hit rainbow drills by Summer Camp. Max out bonds early (Year 1) for better stat gains.

Skill Recommendations

Tex Support Card 30007

Grab skills that boost her Pace Chaser role, keep Stamina up, and shine in the final stretch. Must-haves:

  • Unique Skill: Corazón Ardiente (comes with her) – Boosts speed and acceleration on the final straight if Stamina’s good.
  • Core Skills:
    • Front Pack Presence: Keeps her mid-pack early for skill triggers.
    • Second Wind: Recovers Stamina for longer races.
    • Mid-Race Surge: Speeds her up mid-race to set up passes.
    • Lane Control: Helps with positioning and overtaking.
    • Final Stretch Burst: Boosts speed/acceleration at the end.
  • Optional Skills:
    • Stamina Recovery: Like “Endurance Runner” for Medium/Long races.
    • Positioning Skills: For better corners or straight-line speed.
    • Mood Stabilizers: Cut down mood penalties for steady skills.

Skill Tip: Focus on gold skills from SSR cards (e.g., Kitasan Black, Super Creek). Run extra races in Year 3 for Skill Points. Skip Short-distance or Front Runner skills unless you’re testing stuff.

Legacy/Inheritance Choices

Pick Legacy Umamusume with Mile/Medium and Pace Chaser vibes to boost stats and skills:

  • Top Picks:
    • Kitasan Black (Speed/Power, Mile/Medium).
    • Biwa Hayahide (Stamina, Medium/Long).
    • Mihono Bourbon (Speed, Mile).
    • Tosen Jordan (Power, Mile/Medium).
  • Tip: Aim for 3* Sparks in Speed (needs 600+ Speed in past runs) for a +21 starting boost. Borrow strong guest Legacies (up to 3/day) with high Speed/Stamina Sparks.

Training Tips

  • Year 1: Build support card bonds to unlock rainbow drills. Focus on Speed training (Level 5 for max gains).
  • Year 2: Mix Speed and Stamina training. Use Stamina cards for Medium/Long races or recovery skills. Don’t overdo Guts unless you need it.
  • Year 3: Farm Skill Points with extra races. Keep mood at Good or Super for 4–20% training boosts.
  • Mood Management: Pick Recreation over Rest to stay motivated and avoid fatigue.
  • RNG Fix: Use Wit cards (e.g., Fine Motion) to cut down on training fails and injuries.

Race Strategy

  • Mile/Medium Races: Use her Speed to hang mid-pack, then hit Corazón Ardiente and burst skills to pass in the final stretch.
  • Long Races: Stack Stamina (800–900+) and recovery skills to avoid burning out before the end.
  • PvP/URA Finale: Push Speed (900–1200) and Power (700+) for strong overtaking. Use Kitasan Black or Narita Brian cards for acceleration.
  • Avoid Short Races: Her low aptitude makes her weaker here.

Team Synergy

Pair El Condor Pasa with:

  • Front Runners: Daiwa Scarlet, Vodka (set the early pace, letting her surge later).
  • Pace Chasers: Mihono Bourbon, Rice Shower (match her mid-pack style).
  • Late Runners: Nice Nature (covers different positions).
  • Dirt Tracks: Haru Urara, Taiki Shuttle (if you’re running Dirt).

Additional Notes

  • Why She’s Solid: El Condor Pasa is easy to use, consistent, and works well for URA clears and PvP. Her Speed growth and Corazón Ardiente make her reliable.
  • Challenges: Her stat growth can depend on luck, so plan training carefully. Stamina is key for Long races.
  • Reroll Tip: Grab SSR Fine Motion and Super Creek for her deck to make early training easier.

Sample Build Example

  • Stats: Speed 1000, Stamina 700, Power 650, Wit 450, Guts 350
  • Support Deck: 3 Speed (Kitasan Black, Maruzensky, Oguri Cap), 1 Stamina (Super Creek), 1 Wit (Fine Motion)
